Inexpensive Etsy swap July

Inexpensive Etsy swap #3! Almost the same as last time but I am changing the minimum requirment of items you should have in your favorites. (read more below)

You will have one partner who you will send an item from their Etsy favorites. The price range for this swap is $3-$5 before shipping costs. Please have a Etsy link on your profile and have at least 15 or more $3-5 items so your partner will have plenty to choose from.

This swap is international so keep that in mind before joining.

"This means that you could be partnered with someone who is internationally based. Just like anyone else, you are responsible for paying the shipping costs for the item(s) you are having shipped to your partner REGARDLESS of where the item(s) you chose are shipping FROM. Please do not ask your partner to choose items from their country so that YOU don't have to pay as much in shipping!!! Most people join these swaps and have items on their Etsy favorites from other countries because they can't get the items in their own country! If your partner does have items in their favorites that are from their own country, even better, but please don't join an internationally based swap if you are not going to be willing to pay the shipping prices."

I have received a few swaps through etsy where my partner has had the item sent to themselves and then resent it to me to keep shipping costs down so that is always a option but not required.

Also you can ask the etsy shop owner to add a note for your partner to mention who it is from. I usually ask them if they can even just write the note on the receipt or even a sticky note would be great.

I will be checking profiles before assigning partners to make sure you have good ratings, no recent unexsplained bad ratings, a working etsy link, and at least 15 $3-$5 etsy fav. The past two months I have had it at a minimum of 10 items. I am raising it because I have noticed sometimes a seller goes away and if you have more then one item from the seller then it can lower the choices your partner has.

So one $3-$5 etsy fav before shipping to one partner. Please make sure all your etsy favs are up to date.

and one again: PLEASE make sure you have at least 15 $3-5 etsy favs when signing up for the swap. I understand sometimes when a seller goes away then it will lower the available amount of favorites available for your partner. I am just raising the amount to still give your partner a lot of options if this happens. If you come up reasonably short then I will send you a message asking you to add a few more. If I check and you only have for example 5 $3-5 items I will just delete you and you can try next month. So please just keep checking your favorites regularly until I assign partners.

And partners just remember you will most likely have more options to choose from your partners favs if you send it out sooner.

So one $3-$5 etsy fav before shipping to one partner. Please make sure all your etsy favs are up to date.

Happy swapping. :)
